Strictly speaking, the Beihai Army is not yet separated from the scope of ancient army. Although many modern training methods have been adopted, muskets have been promoted and modern tactics have been adopted.
However, because most of the officers are indigenous officers of this era, even if they use various new things, they still cannot change the fact that this is an ancient army.
Just like the army in the late Qing Dynasty, it was equipped with many advanced guns and cannons, but it was still beaten by the Eight-Nation Alliance. There was no way, and the nature of the army would be difficult to change if the officers' thoughts did not change.
Just like during the Meiji Restoration in Japan, the shogunate purchased a large number of modern guns and cannons from France, but because they still valued the concept of conservative samurai as officers, they did not exert the power of new weapons at all. However, most of the officers of the anti-samurai faction came from relatively open areas such as Kyushu, and their ideas were very different from those of conservative old-school samurai.
The most classic one is probably the Northern Expedition in 1926. The Guangzhou regime at that time was not superior to the northern warlords. However, the Guangdong region at that time was the most advanced area of ​​Chinese thought at that time, and with the training of modern military academies such as the Whampoa Military Academy. The main backbone of the Northern Expedition Army at that time was the student army composed of Whampoa students.
These Huangpu student army have advanced and solid theory and accumulated practical experience in the attack on Chen Jiongming. Therefore, although the weapons of both sides of the Northern Expedition are similar, they are two armies with generation gaps.
For the current Beihai Kingdom, the Beihai Kingdom's army is actually a bit similar to the warlords at that time. Although it copied the modern (it should be modern, but it was modern at that time) military system and used advanced weapons and equipment. However, it can only be regarded as a semi-modern army. Because the officers in the army were still the same group of people, they just took off their old military uniforms and changed into new military uniforms.
This kind of army is certainly stronger than the pure Qing army, but due to the officers, its combat effectiveness can only be considered between the old army and the new army.
The Beihai Army is in this state at the moment. Because they have adopted new weapons and new tactics, they are indeed stronger than the European army of their contemporaries. However, they are not much stronger and cannot push the whole of Europe even though they are still unable to do so.
Therefore, Marin did not have the confidence to fight against others alone, so he could only show off his usual honesty.
He wanted to go against the sky, the earth and the air, but after traveling through time, there was no "beep" sound in his mind, and he did not send him an invincible plug-in. If he really dared to be so arrogant, even if he could achieve a temporary victory, the consequences would not be good.
No one can understand the principle of "a shot of a gun" more deeply than the Chinese. If you don't cheat, it's best to be tempted first and finally explode. Among them, the best learner is Zhu Yuanzhang.
People pretended to be grandson at the beginning, and even accepted the enthronement of the Yuan Dynasty. That's not all, Zhu Yuanzhang even accepted the enthronement of the "Han Song" regime, which was also one of the anti-kings.
At that time, Han Liner was the nominal spiritual leader of various rebel armies at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Although Zhu Yuanzhang was not controlled by Han Liner's regime, he accepted the canonization of the other party's orders to govern the provinces in Jiangnan. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang accepted the canonization of the Yuan court.
Morally speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang's behavior is a typical two-faced and three-pointed sword. But it can't stand it! Through this kind of despicable practice of low and small, Zhu Yuanzhang successfully survived the most fragile early stage and ensured that he would not be targeted.
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang was just an inconspicuous group of various rebel armies, and even Zhang Shicheng was much more famous than him. However, through the policy of "building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming the king", he persisted until the later stage, growing into a new overlord, and eventually swept the world.
...
It can be said that what Malin learned now is Zhu Yuanzhang. He could be shameless at the beginning, and it doesn’t matter if he pretends to be a grandson. Now, he is just accumulating his strength to wait for the future to explode.
The non-commissioned officer education system he promoted is the basis for his outbreak!
These non-commissioned officers began to receive the simplest queue training as early as elementary school. After graduating from elementary school, they began to train combat skills. By the age of 18, the two batches of 2,000 non-commissioned officers had already become military talents with extremely solid military basic skills.
Of course, they lack experience and prestige. At this time, they were arranged to serve as chief officers in the army at once, and it was definitely difficult to convince the public. You should know that even the Huangpu Student Army established confidence and prestige by defeating Chen Jiongming.
Therefore, Marin did not intend to pull out the seedlings and encourage growth, but instead gave them to the old officers as deputys. First learn how to control the troops, and then look for others. A few years later, as the old officers gradually grew older, they also served as adjutants for several years and had enough qualifications to serve as chief officers. And when they were in their prime, religious wars were almost about to break out, which gave them the opportunity to show their skills.
However, not everyone is suitable for being an officer. As an officer, you must not only have solid military skills and knowledge, but also have the ability to convince the public. If a person who cannot convince the public is an officer, then this army may be difficult to manage well.
Therefore, Marin did not allow all 2,000 non-commissioned officers to serve as grassroots adjutants of the army and take over as chief officers in the future. He assessed these 2,000 people, and in addition to assessing basic military skills and knowledge, he also assessed management ability and prestige.
A person who can establish prestige among non-commissioned officers can also establish prestige in the army. Prestige can also be called aura.
People with strong auras can make others unconsciously believe in him and be willing to accept his leadership. Some people with too introverted edge may be suitable for civil servants, but they are definitely not suitable for managing those big-headed soldiers.
The big-headed soldiers in the army, especially veterans, are very slick. They are used to watching people serve, and when they meet people with strong auras, they will obey the command honestly. If they meet weak officers, these old men will have various small moves...
Not everyone is suitable for being an officer, and similarly, not everyone is suitable for being a teacher. The two are actually very similar in some aspects, especially in management. Some teachers are obviously very talented, but because they cannot control students, the classroom is noisy and cannot learn with peace of mind. This is not a problem of personal level, but a problem of management ability, and it is related to personal personality and aura.
The same is true for officers. If they manage pure recruits, it would be better. If they encounter troops with many veterans and their aura is not strong enough, they will be backfired.
Therefore, when Marin selected military adjutants from these 2,000 people, in addition to his knowledge and ability, he also depends on prestige. Anyone with high prestige, aura, and able to convince people will be selected first.
Most of the things like aura are born. Some people are born with strong aura but poor ability but can convince people. For example, Liu Bang, a gangster, was obviously a fool, but he united talented bosses such as Xiao He and Cao Shen around, laying the foundation for the founding of the Han Dynasty.
And those who do not have aura, even if they are knowledgeable, can only work for others. Perhaps this is the so-called "turtle-eagle"...
Therefore, when Marin selected officer talents from 2,000 non-commissioned officers, he gave priority to those strong people with the aura of "turtle-eagle".
